    Correct, Kul Tirans are humans from Kul Tiras. They have different racials and different druid forms. Most of them are average human sized, not gigantic. I want the option to play regular-sized Kul Tirans.

    So it's okay to let someone in USA to turn over sensitive information to Russia and then after it's done a few weeks later you tattle and get that person in trouble? Isn't it better to prevent it from happening in the first place?

    you do know undercover cops do that all the time right? they allow minor crimes and sometimes even larger crimes be commited if that means they are able to capture as many people as possible, and get them for the crime you are sent to get them for.

    Uh...why wouldn't they have the same racials? Plus Stormwind humans are not from Kul Tiras + have different druid forms?
    I'm not even requesting something that doesn't exist in game. Most Kul Tirans ARE NOT GIGANTIC.

    I think draenai would look cooler if they had a goat face instead if a human face. I suppose like traditional satyrs. they could have glowing eyes and be blue or whatever space-like color, but an elongated face would fit them better, I think. also no tentacles.

    I dont get why people think the disliking of this video is just a continued hate blizzard circle jerk.

    Speaking from my own perspective one of the things that made legion for me was being a demon hunter it felt thematic and did a lot for how much I got into the expansion and it really isnt that different with zandalari for me. As much as I loved DH after Z trolls were announced at blizzcon I literally decided what classes I was going to play based off the preliminary info wowhead on these races (dodged a bullet with warlock). I ended up settling on rogue and I've been a place holder race (belf) for the last 7 months.....

    None of you playing right now would enjoy the game to same degree (if you're enjoying it at all rn) if your main was a race you didn't enjoy, if the race you were looking forward to being at launch was swapped with brown orcs for *story reasons*, if the race you were looking forward to that was demo'd at blizzcon 2017 was being released in 2019, if the race you wanted to be was delayed because its faction counterpart wasn't ready yet, and then the first time blizzard says anything new regarding that race its a bunch of information specifying the unlock requirements you finished months ago....

    There are so many things wrong with BFA and I've had to overlook a lot of it to make it this far but I guess they cant be too far out now if they put this video up right? RIGHT??

    since when isl ooking back to an old video literally saying "they will need both exalted, and war campaign" white knighting?
    but hey if removing my "white knight" title requires me to make literally every single post i make about blizzard being shit, i rather be a white knight then lie about what i do or do not like about the game.

    you seriously need me to make a theread about everything i hate about blizz?
    or are you really just that pathetic cause i dont make every single post about what i hate about the game, means that i am a white knight shill?

    Imagine being hyped for fat humans. Zandalari are p cool tho.

    Another extremely annoying point is that I've had a druid and paladin on alliance I've wanted to bring over for quite sometime but faction changing them just so I can pay for an additional race change rubs me the wrong way so they've just been sitting there collecting dust on stormrage
